Re: UML with debian-amd64



You just missed me bringing up an issue about it on this list.  I have 64-bit 
Debian running inside 64-bit Debian, and it looks like it's going to work 
fine, except that UML doesn't support NPTL.

Normally this isn't a problem; simply removing /lib/tls fixes it.  But Debian 
AMD64 has it compiled directly into glibc, because all 64-bit CPUs support 
this feature.

I've made the UML devs aware of the problem via the uml-user mailing list.  It 
looks like for now you'll have to recompile glibc, at least within the UML 
instance.  I'm not sure about the host.

It looks like the 3.0 version of Xen does not require disabling TLS.  You 
might want to evaluate that.  Supposedly, release is imminent...
